What is recorded here
Meadow management erased the tomb before law existed to protect it. The wedge stones reappeared only when the land stopped hiding them. Human hands built the chamber, human hands buried it again, and human hands now measure what remains. The tomb is not lost. It is waiting for people willing to see the shape of their own forgetting.
On a rise in elevated exposed karst with some grass cover and within a multiperiod field system (CL005-227004-). A collapsed wedge tomb orientated NE-SW comprising a NW and SE sidestone that have both fallen SE with several other broken limestone slabs in close proximity deriving from other elements of the tomb. The wedge tomb has been incorporated into a mound wall that runs NE-SW across the townland.
